Intoxicated man found in Jefferson Courthouse

Jefferson County employees caught an intoxicated man early Wednesday inside the Courthouse in Port Townsend.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. —

Jefferson County employees caught an intoxicated man early Wednesday inside the Courthouse in Port Townsend.

He told police he had been drinking at a bar and overheard a couple talking about plans to destroy court documents. He says he went to the Courthouse to protect the town.

The Peninsula Daily News says prosecutors didn't buy the story, and the 26-year-old man was back in the Courthouse the same day on a burglary charge.
